Aradia’s workshops
Ouch, I hurt! I went to an all-day belly dance workshop yesterday with Aradia of Spellbound Belly dance. She has a truly unique style called Industrial belly dance which incorporates the popping, locking and ticking of hip hop with classical belly dancing. Less obvious is the influence of the many other dance styles she has studied, especially ballroom and Latin.
It was a fabulous workshop - she has such a terrific technical knowledge as well as a fun personality - I didn’t realise how hard I’d worked until I got home and collapsed on the sofa!
Her new venture also sounds interesting - Human Fusion is a fusion of dance and aerobic exercise. Looking forward to hearing more!
I love belly dancing and was decent at in college. I recently took up classes again and it is a work out. I am still sore from my class on Sunday night.
I was remarking to my teacher that it looks deceptively easy sometimes but the movements done correctly take A LOT of control.
